      Apple watch, on the contrary of Apple phone, will be the poor man's watch.. Do you imagine rich people removing their Rolex, Audemars Piguet or Patek Philipp to wear an Apple watch?

            I've yet to see one in public so the true figure will probably be closer to 5 million.

                Oh, good luck with that, can't wait seeing people on street wearing apple watch, lol.

                  Well, that makes the next gen Watches in the unsold inventory or far lesser numbers than 35M in the future

                    Funny..how one annalist says it will flop and this one comes up with this... I call BS on the 36MM perspective and now even more after the rumors of a much better watch from apple coming very soon.

                        Wet dreams. Some 'analysts' doesn't deserve their pay.

                          Just imagine when smartwatches reach 5 days battery life. Ill sure buy one myself if that happens.

                              AnonD-282142, 22 May 2015Agreed, but I don't think it'll take 3-4 more iterations to... moreWatch needs stuff like more water resistance, more standby, less weight, better screen and faster processor.

                              That's just hardware side.

                              Sure next generation may improve upon all such areas. However. in order to get refined experience even on software side and to get better and more apps, it will take lot more time.

                              Its not easy feat to achieve more battery life with more features being added and hardware getting better. iPhone 6 plus for example had larger size and hence larger battery but watch size has severe constraints. So everything must be done on software level as much as possible so that hardware can be miniaturized to a maximum extent.

                                JY, 22 May 2015OverpricedIt is overpriced for what you get currently but at this point it shouldn't really be a surprise to anyone that any product that Apple releases will most likely be overpriced. We just accept it by now.

                                      Way overpriced, its like any other "smartwatch", poor battery, and dang that's a lot of tools, 36M.
                                      Any watch with less than a week(2 would be better) worth of battery is pretty much useless.
